What are single moms doing to survive out there

What are single moms doing to make ends meet these days? Are the Baby daddies helping out at all? I wonder how do you juggle sick babys and work. I myself have just come off of my maternity leave and with the lil sprout only been in daycare for 3 days, he has now caught a cold. I had to take time off of work and with the stress of not having any more earned time to take off, could possibly loose the job. What do most women do in these cases. I feel like what is there to do but to stay home and take care of my sick baby. He is only 3 moths and well isnt bad to drop your baby off at daycare sick?
